I bet if I accidentally left my dog in my car on accident tomorrow I would face absolutely zero charges.
How many examples would you like?

Keep in mind that those dogs didn't die, they were just left in a car.
If you want to get into dogs killed by cops/guns it gets worse in a hurry. A cop can chase a suspect into someone's back yard, kill their dog because they have no balls, and absolutely nothing will happen to them.

Correct, but not for LEO. Think about that.
I would encourage anybody who wants to learn about the attitudes of LE to frequent online forums where there are a lot of cops. You'll find out what most of them really think about you.
Not to dismiss what you're saying. I do agree. I did bond retrieval for nearly a year, about 20 years ago. It's the same in that field. As far as some of the mentalities go.
And that field had its share of those who took advantage of the protections the field offered too. And let it go to their heads.

I did not know it. Thank you very much.

You are correct. The statute specifically refers to the death of a human being.
That said, the officer could be prosecuted for animal cruelty…

Until policemen are prosecuted for causing the death of a "police officer" this activity will continue. Are you saying this fella should not do time?

Absolutely.

He killed a fellow officer.
Killing a law enforcement officer invokes
the death penalty.

No one is more upset than that officer

No. The guy made a mistake without malicious intent. Don’t let him handle dogs anymore. Demote him or fire him or whatever.
This is where I'm at. A human shouldn't go to prison for a tragic mistake that resulted in the death of an animal. I know animals are an emotional subject, but I believe humans are superior to animals. God giving us dominion over them proves it.
If there is a pattern of neglect or abuse, then absolutely put him away. But for one single mistake? You want to potentially take away a good father and provider from his family because of a single mistake where no people were hurt? I can't support that.
Of course people who shoot a police dog will go to jail. Or anyone who willfully harms an animal. That is an intentional act. Comparing it to this doesn't make sense.
If a person left home for the night to take care of a sick parent and thought their dog was inside, but the dog ended up dying due to the cold, should that dutiful son, now grieving from the loss of a beloved companion, spend years in jail? It's an extreme example, but it shows that context matters.

Most of those cops don't give a frick about those dogs, it's not like guys in the service with their dogs.

Negligent homicide

This is simply not true.

Dog dies in the car is a crime.
Criminal dies in the car is swift justice.

How in the heck did it happen?
I don't get emotional until I have all the facts.

I knew a guy who was a dog handler and had to defend himself from a K-9. He got a few stitches but he subdued the K-9.
The K-9 lived and went back to work the very next day. The handler got 4 additional years from the charge of assaulting a police officer.

YES! To the same extent any regular citizen would be. Times 2 cause he's suppose to be better than that.
